Bugbot2008 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, this is my first topic, first original MOC published for this site and my first contest entry! This is my entry for the EB Middle Earth Contest. Like everyone here I love the Lord of the Rings and remain disappointed with the cancellation of the theme, and since then have begun to design and build my own official-style models to complete the range. So it seemed only natural that I would jump on board when a competition sprung up to celebrate doing exactly that! This is the scene when the watcher in the water attacks the fellowship as they enter Moria. "Gandalf the Grey leads the fellowship on their long journey across middle earth to destroy the One Ring of power. Their journey takes them to the Dwarf mines of Moria but first they must figure out how to open the doors of Durin to get inside, but watch out! There is something moving in the water, an ancient mysterious beast with many tentacles known only as The watcher in the Water." - includes four minifigures: Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas and Boromir - features the doors of Durin with glow-in-the-dark details - the watcher in the water has 8 posable arms, and closing jaws Approximately 400 pieces, excluding figures: The watchers eyes and teeth are from the Chima crocodile beast. Thanks for viewing! Edited October 29, 2014 by Bugbot2008 Quote
cesbrick Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Very nice set with lots of details. Congratulations and good luck! PS: If possible, next time try to put direct photos and not just the links to them. People are lazy and dont like to click to see it. Quote

mrcp6d Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The Watcher is gnarly looking for sure Nice work! Quote
Artanis I Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I haven't seen those tooth parts before! The watcher certainly looks scary enough, and I think it's a good representation. Quote
Disco86 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The watcher in the water is looking magnificent, great usage of the Chima parts ! Especially cool, that the beast is so playable. The glowing parts at the door are Details that make this somethng really Special. Good luck ! Quote
Mr. Cube Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Great design of the Watcher! You´ve captured this creature very well. Quote
Regenerate builder Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I like the watcher's face. It captures the look of the one in the movie IMO. Quote
